Kids always play chicken with death and they never even realize it. They have very little fear and will do anything that seems like it could be fun or daring. I used to jump from the barn roof, swing out of the loft from the same barn on a piece of twine nailed to the opening with a single nail. My parents really didn't think I would survive past 5 and they did everything to try and contain me but it just didn't work.
